This month, from June 7-13th, 600 cyclists will weave through scenic countryside unseen by travelers on I-80. The cyclists will weave through towns like Trenton and Alma, Superior and Humboldt — ending the seven-day journey at Chalco Hills. They’ll pitch tents on football fields in villages half the size of this band of passionate adventurers on two wheels.

Its attendance figures didn’t break the 20,000 threshold. Now in its 59th year in Omaha, the CWS is poised to attract its 7 millionth fan, and its average attendance has experienced quite the turn-around from its early days: nearly 113,000 fans each year get a taste of baseball as it once was.

For three days in June, the Omaha Summer Arts Festival will fill the streets of downtown Omaha along Gene Leahy Mall with art, music, children’s activities, food and more.
